Roots Album of the Month **** - Mojo. *Album of the Year.* - Billy Bragg. *Brilliantly crafted thoughts on England. A multi-layered album of infinitesimal depth.* - fRoots magazine. Advertising campaign across the music press. Radio support from Bob Harris, Steve Lamaq and Verity Sharpe. With gentle intelligence he weaves the tradition with his own contemporary parables, his writing has been said to share the same timeless quality as Richard Thompson at his best. Since the release of The Lark Descending (for which he won BBC Radio 2s Folk Award for best song), Woods appeal has gone way beyond English folk music. He was invited to sing at last year's WOMEX where he garnered much praise and found many new followers. Likewise, his spot at this year's WOMAD festival was testament to his widening appeal. He has musical commissions from BBC Radio 3's Late Junction, Between The Ears from The Sage Gateshead and has completed work for Arts Council England whilst also writing and lecturing. Wood is also now a central figure in The Imagined Village joining Billy Bragg, Martin & Eliza Carthy.
